Time-resolved measurements of statistics for a Nd:YAG laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Time-resolved measurements of the fluctuating intensity of a multimode frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser have been performed. For various operating conditions the enhancement factors in nonlinear optical processes that use a fluctuating instead of a single-mode laser have been determined up to the sixth order. In the case of reduced flash-lamp excitation and a switched-off laser amplifier, the intensity fluctuations agree with the normalized Gaussian model for the fluctuations of the fundamental frequency, whereas strong deviations are found under usual operating conditions. The frequency-doubled light has in the latter case enhancement factors not so far from values of Gaussian statistics.
